That's okay, new starter came over to ask me a question this morning and for no apparent reason I decided I should jab myself in the eye with my finger.

I thought you were going to say BAM! some it tore and took a nice chunk of paint with it.

I got an electric shock off a telephone exchange and punched myself in the face with a screwdriver luckily it was just the handle but still split my lip open.

I nearly knocked myself out removing the water pump from my Land Rover. I had two big spanners in the engine bay and had to get on a chair and pull the buggers together as hard as I could to undo something.

When it came free I smacked myself that hard, it all went a bit black for a moment and my knees went weak. I wobbled up to the house to ask Gruntygiggles if I was bleeding and she just laughed at me...

Use a hairdryer on the stickers it warms the glue and they come off a doddle, not burst lips or anything
